There are plenty of good VAX and VMS manuals out there, including the
documentation set. Check eBay and abebooks.com.
The last version of VMS that will run on a VAX is v7.3.

More precisely, V7.3 will run on *any* VAX, including the primal
VAX-11/780. This level of backwards compatibility is unique.
No, it is not. Talk to IBM about S/360... :-)
And there are some VAXen on which V7.3 will definitely not run. How
about rtVAX for example.
The other way around, each "newer" VAX in general needs a minimum
version of VMS to run. Sometimes special "hardware releases" were issued
(such as V5.5-H2) to support a new VAX model or variant.
Right.
